One of my goals is to own my stuff. I think a lot of people are tired of their data, their tech, and their network being controlled by centralized powers. I am one of those people.

OpenClaw (openclaw.ai) is part of that goal. I'm still not hosting my own AI yet, but the agent's memory lives on my machine. The automation is controlled by me.

Obsidian (@obsidian.md) is part of that goal. My data stays on my devices and what is shared via the cloud is done so securely, privately, and respectfully.

I've been trying to get these two tools to work containerized on my headless Linux box. Specifically, I want to use Obsidian Sync + Obsidian CLI.

Obsidian Sync so that I and the AI can work with my notes from anywhere. Obsidian CLI so the AI can be more intentional, will be less likely to corrupt any files, and won't consume all my tokens navigating the file structure.

Well, I spent a good part of my weekend figuring this out and rather than just deploy it to my machine, I thought I'd share a repo that anyone can clone and use to get started with this configuration.
